"I don't give a f**k about YouTube" - xQc addresses community after revealing amount of money he got from controversial Gaza bombing reaction video

During the Just Chatting segment of his livestream, xQc decided to "self-expose" himself by displaying the analytics of his controversial YouTube video titled xQc reacts to Israeli Airstrike hits Gaza Tower after Hamas Attack.

He said:

"All right, here it comes. Here it comes, boys! It's f**king leaked in real-time, chat! I've been f**king caught live, red-handed on air, making money off of this s**t. The total, the tally... the video with the clip everybody hates and is very upset about - that is not a very big deal at all in the current landscape - made a total of $21!"

The French-Canadian personality remarked that he doesn't care about revenue generated on the Google-owned platform. He elaborated:

"People think I'm this big f**king mastermind and I'm doing this whole YouTube thing. One - you guys come in here and I don't give a f**k about YouTube. YouTube revenue for me is like... I pay the editors and I don't give a f**k. Okay?"

The streamer also explained why he uploads content on YouTube, saying:

"I upload on YouTube for people that don't like the stream or can't watch live, to catch up. Okay? If it's making money, it's cool for the editors and whatnot. But, I don't take it seriously because it's just for people. Okay? Some people try to flex my analytics or try to go against me for analytics, I don't care!"

As mentioned earlier, the 27-year-old's revelation was trending on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit. Here's what the Reddit community had to say:
